Romania: Several People Fired for Theft

Several leading civil servants, among which the head of the Tax authority, were fired in Romania for having stolen funds from the EU development aid. According to prosecutors “two Romanian lawmakers and eight other persons had allegedly defrauded two projects worth a total 27.25 million lei ($6.91 million) aimed at supporting the underprivileged Roma minority.”

And one wonders why nothing changes …

Begging in Helsinki

Published by:

Begging in Helsinki

An article on begging and Rroma accessing social services in Helsinki is really not acceptable. It is full with factual errors (no, most Rroma who come from Romania and Bulgaria are not and never were travelers), generalises, and implicitly associates Rroma with beggars.

BAD ARTICLE …

Basle: No space for Travellers

In Basle, until April, there is no place were travellers can stay. They had to leave a place in the city, which will be established as a permanent camping site for Travellers, and they ended up squatting a field from which they were now expelled. There are to few of these sites in Switzerland to accommodate Travellers in Switzerland.

French Rroma Camps: Reflection

Published by:

French Rroma Camps: Reflection

Two articles on the Rroma camps in France. In an Interview, Grégoire Cousin, an anthropologist, reflects on the cost of dismantling camps. In another article, the question of what to do with such camps is posed and discussed.

For us, one thing is clear: It would be cheaper to lodge those 15’000 Rroma and find a permanent solution rather than moving them from camp to camp…

The Rroma who were expelled last week from their camp on the disused railway tracks of the petite ceinture around Paris manifested in Paris prior to their expulsion in a last ditch attempt to avoid being thrown out. Listen to the comments of the people watching the manifestation. This is scary …

A Survey in France …

A Survey in France …

A survey published last week in France is shocking the French. It is about racism, and included questions such as “if your daughter married a Muslim” or “have you ever had problems Rroma, etc.” Well, in this latter case, it seems that 27% of the French (Yes) have encountered problems with Rroma. That is more than one in 4 … We would doubt that one in four French has ever seen or met a Rrom … People were also shocked to find out that this survey was initiated by a Jewish organisation.

First Rrom in UK Police

Petr Torak, a Rrom of Slovak or Czech origin is allegedly the first serving Rrom police officer in the UK. Not bad, when one remembers that the police there is quite racist (see all articles on the MET and their facebook postings).

Paris: The Camp on the Petite Ceinture is Dismantled

The Rroma camp on the old tracks of the “Petite Ceinture” railway with close to roughly 400 inhabitants has been cleared yesterday. It was, according to the press the “largest” remaining camp near Paris.

One cannot but wonder that so few people attract so much attention, and that for such a small number of people, a more dignified solution could not be found earlier…

Switzerland … Oh well …

Published by:

One of the really least researched, most populist articles in the Swiss press in a long time. Low concentration of facts and logic, high populist overtones.

Not acceptable. And by the way, the results of the study (see second article) are not acceptable either.
